Answer:

-.5 < a < .5 is equivalent to |a| < .5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is:

|a| < .5

As we know that

If |x| < b then -b < x < b.

In question statement, we observe that

x = a and b = .5

If |a| < .5 then -.5 < a < .5

-.5 < a < .5 is equivalent to |a| < .5.

In circle O, AP = √10, PB = x and BC = 3. Find the value of x.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The value of x is $2\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Applying the tangent-secant theorem

$AP^{2}=PB*PC$

substitute the values and solve for x

$\sqrt{10}^{2}=x*(x+3)$

$10=x^{2}+3x$

$x^{2}+3x-10=0$

using a graphing tool

to solve the quadratic equation

The solution is $x=2\ units$

dexters weighs 50 kg. His body contains 30.8 kg of oxygen and 4. 9 kg if hydrogen. The rest is made up of other elements. How ma

andrey2020 [161]

50-(30.8+4.9)=14.3 kg.
You start with 50 then you need to subtract 30.8 and 4.9 from it. So you add them together and get 35.7. Then you subract 25.9 from 50 and get 14.3 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perp. : -3/2

y + 8 = -3/2(x - 4)

y + 8 = -3/2x + 6

y = -3/2x - 2
